We had our large family plus dogs stay for a long weekend and the weekend could not have been better. The house supplied all the kitchen amenities we could need, grill was great, and plenty of bathrooms and beds for everyone. The kids LOVED fishing from the dock and kayaking and we launched and parked our boat at the nice dock. A, would stay here again. Only downside is that the shore isn’t really meant for swimming but it wasn’t very hot so it wasn’t a big deal.

Thank you for such a wonderful review! We're so glad your large family and dogs had an amazing long weekend, and that the kitchen setup, grill, and bathrooms made everything so convenient. It sounds like the dock was a real highlight with the fishing, kayaking, and boat launching, and we love that the kids had such a great time. We'd be delighted to welcome you back whenever your travels bring you this way again. The VueStay Team

Property was clean, spacious, and the view to the lake from the living and dining room is excellent. Very private location, nice doc for sitting and fishing. Lots of kitchen pots, pans…The lake was good for swimming, but not from the beach because it was muddy. The water level was low so not sure if that contributed to the mud. We rented a pontoon and took our floaty toys out into the deeper water.

Thank you so much for the wonderful review. We're thrilled you loved the clean, spacious feel and that the lake views from the living and dining room were such a highlight. It sounds like the dock was a perfect spot for relaxation and fishing, and we're glad the kitchen was well stocked for your cooking. The pontoon adventure with the floaties sounds like a fantastic way to enjoy the deeper water. We'd love to welcome you back for another lakeside getaway whenever your travels bring you our way.

Perfect Fishing Home Base

Clean, comfortable, and well appointed property that was perfect for our Northwoods fishing trip. We had everything we could need and really enjoyed the home for a week as we hunted in the various lakes around the property for early spring smallmouth action.

Great getaway retreat!

Upper Gresham Retreat was the perfect place for our fall getaway. This beautiful home is equipped with everything we needed for our 3 day stay. We enjoyed the fire pit, the kayaks and the lovely fireplace. It was also close to several small towns we were interested in visiting. The fall colors were beautiful! Thank you for allowing us to stay in your lovely home.

Great home and excellent location

This updated home worked out excellent for our three adult couples. The location was convenient to other small communities and various bars and restaurants. The home was well stocked with the basic kitchen necessities and had very nice linens. The lake was quiet and we had very good luck fishing for largemouth bass and other pan fish. Would highly recommend.

Property was great. Views of the lake from the house were spectacular. There were a few minor issues, I.e TVs not working, some lightbulbs missing, fireplace wouldn’t turn on. Attempted to contact property management about these issues via text and via email, and got no response. Even after I received a text from the management company asking if there was anything they could do to make our stay better, I responded back with those issues and still got no response. But overall, the house was cozy and clean.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're so glad you enjoyed the lake views and found the house cozy and clean. We're sorry to hear that you experienced issues with the TVs, lightbulbs, and fireplace during your stay, and that your attempts to reach the team went unanswered. That falls short of the standard we hold, and we've shared your experience with our local team and maintenance so they can review what happened and make sure concerns are addressed promptly for future guests. We'd appreciate the chance to host you again, and we hope your next stay goes even more smoothly. The VueStay Team

Fall biking trip with friends

Nice house with beautiful view of the lake. Had everything we needed for an enjoyable get together with friends. Recommend adding a smoke detector in the basement.

Beautiful views

We loved the beautiful views and quiet corner of Upper Gresham Lake. The loons and abundant fish made for family fun in this lovely setting. Kayaking was a peaceful experience. We also rented a pontoon boat for several days which they can drop off at the DNR boat landing on the north side of the lake. Also lots of hiking and biking within 10 miles of the house.

Spacious Lake House Getaway

Thank you for our stay. Our family enjoyed a really relaxing getaway together! The house was extremely clean and spacious. It was equipped with everything we needed. The property itself had a very private feel to it while still being on the lakefront. We all enjoyed using the kayaks provided. Every night we enjoyed fires at the well groomed fire pit. All in all we had a really enjoyable time there! Thanks again!

Quite impressed! The homeowners of Upper Gresham Retreat truly know how to provide for and spoil their guests. The accommodations are well designed, very clean, easy to use, and warmly welcoming. The kayaks are a nice touch as well. We were surprisingly able to spend time paddling around the lake on October 12 and delightedly caught a small mouth bass. Thank you for sharing your lovely retreat with us.
